PLANNING - Magazine Cover: Codes and Conventions 2


The date/issue number is conventionally positioned in the top right hand corner of the page along with the magazine website and price, so the audience can easily identify these features.

The barcode on this issue is placed in the bottem left hand corner. From recognising this, I placed the barcode on my magazine in the same place, so it conforms to typical codes and conventions of music magazines.  

The key image is the biggest and only photo image on the page. It is also placed in front of the masthead - 'Rolling Stone'. This shows that because the Rolling Stone magazine is well known, and the font of the heading is iconic, the image can be placed in front of the masthead, and people will still recognise what magazine it is.
